PREFACE 



This work has been prepared solely for persons interested in the subject 
treated, and it is hoped that attorneys, inventors and manufacturers of Cotton Bale- 
Ties will find it serviceable to them. We have included in this digest all patents 
granted by the United States on this subject up to January 1st, 1877, in which a 
drawing of each and every figure, claims, whether original or reissue, dates of ex- 
tensions, and disclaimers are given. A brief description of each English Patent, 
together with the drawings, up to January 1st, 1876; except where the same device 
is patented in the United States, in such cases reference is made to the number of 
the United States patent, and the page on which the drawing may be found. The 
patents are arranged numerically and chronologically, with name and residence of

Digest of U. S. Patents-Cotton Bale-Ties. 



SIMMONS & RAQUET.-Nov. 7th, 1809. 

The invention consists in securing baled 
substances by metallic bands placed in 
grooves in the press, and the ends secured 
(when the band is of flat sheet metal) by 
riveting the ends together, and when of 
wire or rod iron, hooks are formed on the 
ends, and after being hooked together the 
ends are twisted by pinchers.
